Pearl River Here We Come

Today I went to the French Quarter of New Orleans with three other teachers in the morning. We walked along the Mississippi river and saw a steamboat that is used for tours. After lunch Dr. Dyer told us all about the research project. Then, we headed out to the Pearl River WMA. We are truly in a Louisiana Bayou.
Yesterday I asked about the types of trees in New Orleans. Today, see if you can find the types of trees that are found in a bayou. Where does the word bayou come from?
